The main goal of this creative project was to study the human figure and its relationship to its environment. In the process of exploring this idea, several key concepts became the focal point. First, the element of time was studied. The primary emphasis was the relationship between human figures and the passage of time. Second, working with figures on white backgrounds focused on each figure’s visual characteristics. Last, addressing elements of abstraction helped to control the mood of each piece. In terms of subject matter, everyday activities were the focus of the project. Every day we subject ourselves to routine behaviors, to which we eventually become desensitized. In this creative work these mundane activities are addressed in order to uncover unique qualities in the visual environments that often are overlooked. A variety of techniques derived from traditional processes were developed to explore these concepts, including embedding, paint carving, and encasing. An exploration of common imagery utilizing photography, along with visual references from various artists, were used to inform the processes developed for this project. / Department of Art

My research problem was to experiment with four high school art classes in drawing and painting the figure, to draw conclusions about how they relate to working with the figure, and to recommend methods that appeared to be most successful in broadening viewpoints, developing skills and increasing interest and involvement in art. This problem was selected because teenage students, in the vast majority of cases, have great difficulty in drawing or painting figures and, therefore, strenuously avoid it. I discovered that a subjective approach that recognizes personal feelings, along with one that requires close looking, seemed to get the most exciting, results and to be the best received by the students.
